Amenities Health, a Dallas-based digital healthcare solutions provider, has been selected for the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program, which supports high-potential startups and empowers Microsoft’s customer base to harness cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions to enhance digital healthcare experiences and streamline operations.
“Our selection for the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program validates our commitment to creating seamless patient experiences and fostering brand loyalty,” founder and CEO Dr. Aasim Saeed said in a statement. “With Microsoft’s support, we’re well-positioned to enhance our digital platform and expand our reach, ensuring patients have easy access to high-quality, integrated healthcare services while providing a proven ROI to our partners.”
Founded in 2021, Amenities Health secured $6.25 million in Series A funding in 2023, for a total raise of $10 million at the time.
The company said that at a time when the healthcare market is increasingly crowded with nontraditional players, Amenities Health stands out by offering a comprehensive digital platform that enhances patient experiences. Its platform addresses key challenges in the industry, such as new patient acquisition, care scheduling, and patient retention, the company added.
Amenities said its digital front door and patient loyalty platform was developed for healthcare systems that offer digital tools and services patients want and need.
“Amenities approach is enabling healthcare systems to meet today’s consumer expectations, similar to ecommerce and mobile banking platforms,” Sally Ann Frank, worldwide lead for Health and Life Sciences, Microsoft for Startups, said in a statement. “They’re dedicated to the digital healthcare experience, providing solutions that enhance patient engagement and satisfaction.”
A full electronic medical record ‘within seconds’
The company said that new patients can register and create a full electronic medical record (EMR) and patient portal account within seconds and immediately search for available appointments across the entire health system network. The platform offers a unique next-available and closest-in-proximity appointment sorting feature.
Amenities said the platform surfaces every available appointment—including consolidating all virtual and urgent care options and in-network physicians on different EMRs. Then it organizes that information based on the next available appointment, distance, types of insurance coverage accepted, and more, enabling same-day services.
According to Amenities, the modular platform can augment current patient portals, custom mobile apps, or provide an end-to-end, white-labeled mobile solution—and offers turnkey membership programs, empowering healthcare systems to truly differentiate themselves and keep their patients loyal to their brand.
The company added that the same mobile experience can also be easily embedded into health systems’ websites to maintain continuity across all digital front door channels.
